Since the summer of 2016, Cussen has spent 70 days in hospitals while being treated for leukemia. In November, he became the first inpatient at the newly opened Jacobs Medical Center at UC San Diego Health. Besides the floor-to-ceiling windows in all patient rooms, the new medical center allows patients to employ a combination of technologies not found at other California hospitals, moving inpatient care to a new level.

Breast milk is known to provide the best source of nutrition for newborns and infants, and for premature babies, it can be lifesaving. Yet much about the composition of human milk and what makes it so beneficial is still a mystery. To help scientists bridge this knowledge gap, the Switzerland-based Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation has made a $10.5 million gift to UC San Diego, home to one of the world’s only centers dedicated to human milk research.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have demonstrated the world’s first laser based on an unconventional wave physics phenomenon called bound states in the continuum. The technology could revolutionize the development of surface lasers for communications and computing applications, and high-power lasers for industrial and defense applications.

The idea of climate change causing a major ocean circulation pattern in the Atlantic Ocean to collapse with catastrophic effects is mostly regarded as an extreme longshot but a new paper based on analysis done at a group of research centers including Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego shows that climate models may be drastically underestimating that possibility.
